I'd call it a bug in the printer that it continues to indicate online when it has lost its connection to its host (unless it also has a network connection, and in that case I imagine you'd be using the network instead of USB). > ...

Now _that_ sounds like a possible bug in the USB subsystem, since USB is supposed to be completely hot-pluggable and should not need a reboot to get itself straightened out after a mishap. Cc-ing usb@ list. One question which will surely arise is, which FreeBSD version are you using?

Make sure there are no orphaned/widowed paragraphs etc. If so, then I might cat it to plain ascii, edit it & then run it through a2ps. Works for me! Not often that I print email.

Re: Interactive Port
Brother! Muttprint is now working fine. The problem: the printer was offline! Now, before you go accusing me of being a complete dufus, let me say that I had no way of knowing that that condition existed. The printer itself indicated that it was online---no problem. What happened is that somehow, and I'm not sure what caused this, the printer became disengaged from its usb port. Weird. I noticed that this had happened when I tried to print from another program without success. The only way that I could get it talking again to usb was by doing a reboot.

Nothing is working, regardless of whether I try to print from Muttprint, or with Frank's setup. In either case I get this error message: Press any key to continue...cannot remove path when cwd is /tmp/muttprint-GOauzJ for /tmp/muttprint-GOauzJ: at /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.10.1/File/Temp.pm line 902 I'm beginning to wonder if this doesn't have something to do with the fact that my printer is installed via CUPS. There may need to me a special parameter set up in .muttprintrc. But so far I haven't found any info on it.

Looking at the Makefile for the port, all teTeX ports conflict with dvips. Deinstalling teTeX-* from your system will allow this port to build/install; I'm not familiar enough with muttprint enough to be of much more help with it though.
